Description

With an objective to provide a firm understanding of the basic concepts of numerical methods, the book provides introductory chapters on number systems, binary arithmetic, and programming tools and techniques for different programming languages such as C, C++, BASIC and FORTRAN. Subsequently, the book offers an exhaustive coverage of topics such as numerical solutions of linear and non-linear equations, eigenvlues and eigenvectors, linear least squares problem with interpolation and extrapolation, numerical differentiation and integration, ordinary differential equations, partial differential equations, and parabolic and elliptic partial differential equations.

Written in a lucid style, the book contains a large number of solved examples and numerous end-chapter exercises to make for a student-friendly book. The book will also be useful to postgraduate students as well as to practicing numerical analysts, statisticians, and engineers.
